Today's Helper: Jessica 📚🐝
Today's helper was my daughter, Jessica.
Most people bring their phone to pass the time when things are quiet.
Jessica brought a 700-page book. 😆
Not a Kindle. Not a small paperback.
A full-fledged, arm-workout-sized novel because apparently she wanted to be prepared for any possible moment of downtime.
Nothing makes me laugh more than looking over and seeing her casually reading what appears to be an entire library while helping at the stand.
I guess when you're a true book lover, "just in case" requires 700 pages. 📖😂
Oh, Jessica... never change. ❤️

Once again my hive is buzzing with gratitude as my friend Debi Shutter Stafford has jumped in as a worker bee to help us at the National Apple Harvest Festival today. From expert recommendations to ringing in the sale and restocking the shelves, she doesn’t miss a step! Oh and she keeps RayRay on his toes too! So a big thank you for my dear friend and hive supporter!

How is it already October?! 🍂
Truthfully, I've been so busy lately that I didn't even realize September had ended until RayRay pointed it out.
And when I stopped to think about it, I'm not really sure where the month went.
September was filled with projects, long days, hard work, planning, building, learning, and checking things off a list that never seems to get any shorter. Between working on the property, making progress on the shed, preparing for what's next, and trying to balance everyday life, the days seemed to blur together.
It's funny how time works. When you're waiting for something, it drags. But when you're living in the middle of answered prayers and chasing dreams you once only talked about, it seems to fly by in the blink of an eye.
As exhausting as some days have been, I wouldn't trade them. Every project completed, every lesson learned, every sore muscle and dirty pair of boots represents progress.
So goodbye, September. You flew by faster than I ever imagined.
And hello, October. I'm not entirely sure what you have in store for us, but if it's anything like the last few months, I know it'll be filled with hard work, blessings, growth, and plenty of reasons to be grateful. 🧡🍁🐝
"The days are long, but the years are short." Lately, that feels more true than ever. 💛

The woman in this picture is tired.
Her hair isn't done. She's covered in dirt. She desperately needs a shower. The lines on her face aren't from makeup or filters. They're from long days in the sun, hard work, and pushing through things she never imagined she'd be capable of doing.
This week, I helped dig a trench. I helped run electrical to our shed. I laid conduit, pulled wire, filled trenches back in with stone and dirt, and tackled project after project that once felt completely outside of my comfort zone.
Nothing is perfect. There are still things left to do. There are mistakes, lessons, and challenges around every corner.
But sitting here, dirty and exhausted, I can't help but feel humbled by how far we've come.
What makes it even sweeter is knowing that so much of this has been accomplished with our own hands and with the support of incredible friends who have shown up when we needed them most.
There isn't a day that goes by that I don't thank the Lord for the blessings He's poured into our lives. For the opportunities, the friendships, the strength, and the ability to build something we once only dreamed about.
So while my hair may not look its best, and my body may be physically exhausted, my heart is full.
Because mentally, spiritually, and emotionally... I'm soaring higher than I ever thought possible.
Sometimes the most beautiful version of yourself isn't the polished one.
Sometimes it's the one covered in dirt, growing into someone she never knew she could be. 💛🐝

One of the best parts of moving to the homestead has been watching the fur babies make themselves right at home. 🐾
From exploring new corners of the property to finding their favorite sunny spots, they've embraced this place just as much as we have. Seeing them so happy here makes our hearts so full.
We fell in love with this homestead the moment we saw it, and we're so thankful our four-legged family members love it too. 💚🏡
